More Don’ts:
∗ Don’t use the book as a threat (ex: “If you don’t clean up your room, no story time tonight!”).
∗ Don’t start reading if you are not going to have enough time to do it justice.
∗ Don’t select a book that many of the child(ren) already have heard or seen on television. Once a novel’s plot is known, much of their interest is lost.
